What to Do When Tire Pressure Display is Abnormal but Tires Appear Normal?
1 Answers
It could be that the tire is leaking air, but the leakage is not obvious enough to be observed with the naked eye; or the tire pressure system sensor might be faulty, causing a false alarm. What to do if tire pressure is insufficient: If no damage is visible on the car's tires, simply inflate them to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If inspection reveals that the tire has been punctured, drive to a car repair shop promptly to have it patched before reinflating. If the tire pressure warning reappears some time after inflation without any visible puncture, it might be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is advisable to check the rim and replace it if necessary. How tire pressure monitoring works: Pressure sensors installed inside the tires measure the air pressure, and a wireless transmitter sends the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module.
